Hypothetic Zero Yaw Drag Coefficient of Kinetic Energy Projectiles between M = 5 and M = 110

Abstract

From a review of existing techniques and extrapolation of lower velocity data, the drag characteristics of a typical kinetic energy projectile are proposed for application in the range 5 is less than M is less than 10.
